Summary

Karsten Iron-Sides is a name not many knew before a dragon burned down Helgen. To those in Solitude, he was a childhood friend of Torygg and Elisif. To those in Windhelm, he was the bastard son of a Thane and one of Skyrim's most famous generals. But now, he is known to all as the Dragonborn, a hero of immense proportions tasked with preventing the end of the world. Desperately wanted by both sides in the Civil War, no one knows what Karsten fights for save for Karsten himself.

Summary

Finding herself waking the hour of her execution is not the way Lilyah expected her first full day in Skyrim to go. Being unintentionally saved by what she thought was a winged harbinger of death was also not something she would have guessed to happen either. This is the tale of a Bosmer slave escaping her masters to start over and finds that starting over comes with conditions... namely being the famed Dragonborn and a few other surprising things. If love happens to mess things up it is neither here nor there.

Tags will be added if needed. I do not own Skyrim, only Lilyah is my creation. Chapters will also be tagged with warnings if needed.

Summary

Elisif the Fair has, of course, been pulling the strings out of sight for much longer than her Thanes and Steward ever knew. They suspected nothing from her—she was clearly never fit to be Jarl. But why would they have ever suspected her, anyway? That things were going so well for her was sheer dumb luck. She hardly could've been personally responsible for all those... things... that had happened in her favor.

Summary

Gytha Bark-Shod is a vagrant who's so poor she has to make her shoes from birch bark, hence her nickname amongst the various small villages of Skyrim. Until the day she enters Solitude, agrees to run an errand for the innkeeper and wear an outfit made by Radiant Raiment up to the Blue Palace, her biggest ambition has been a full stomach and warm bed. By the next morning, she's agreed to investigate a haunted cave, given Elisif political advice, and been mistaken for a savvy, well-travelled adventurer by the Jarl's court all because of a new dress and a haircut.

Summary

Dragons may signify the world's end but as far as Elisif's concerned, her world ended well before that when Ulfric Stormcloak murdered her husband. So it is that no one's more surprised than her when a dragon attack on Solitude reveals that there's more to the High Queen in waiting than anyone suspected.

Summary
